Awareness and responsibility

Keith Nelson4 Mar 11, 04:09 PM

I believe awareness and responsibility lie at the heart of coaching. The process of coaching essentially hinges upon raising awareness within the client. Awareness leads to responsibility. The definition of responsibility here is not the responsibility of managing a team of thirty or accountability for a large budget. It is response-ability. The ability to respond - to have choices and the choice to make those choices.

Effective coaching requires a safe environment within which the client can explore, reflect and become more aware. The client who is un-aware does not have such power of choice.

By raising awareness in this way, the client becomes more aware of the contrast between the two.
